Presale Information
With multiple presales across every UK date, there are several windows where you can get ahead of general sale demand. Having more than one presale to try is a real advantage, so it's worth knowing which ones you're eligible for before the queues open.
Album Presale
Opens: Wednesday 29 July, 10:00 BST (all UK dates) To qualify, you need to pre-order the new album. If you don't want to make a purchase, there is also a no-purchase-necessary form available. All links are on the individual event pages on Evnt Central.
Artist Presale
Opens: Wednesday 29 July, 10:00 BST (all UK dates) This one is for fans subscribed to Tyla's mailing list. If you're not already signed up, you'll need to do so before the presale opens. Head to the Tyla artist page on Evnt Central for sign-up links.
O2 Priority Presale
Opens: Wednesday 29 July, 10:00 BST (all UK dates) O2 or Virgin Media customers can access this presale through the O2 Priority app or website. It runs at the same time as the Artist and Album presales, so worth having your app ready if you're eligible.
Live Nation Presale
Opens: Thursday 30 July, 10:00 BST (London, Manchester) A free Live Nation account is all you need. Register ahead of time so you're not scrambling on the day.
Metropolis Presale
Opens: Thursday 30 July, 10:00 BST (London) Available at the Metropolis Music presale for the O2 Academy Brixton show. You'll need a free Metropolis Music account to access it.
Metropolis Music Presale
Opens: Thursday 30 July, 10:00 BST (Manchester) Same setup as the London Metropolis presale, requiring a free Metropolis Music account.
Gigs in Scotland Presale
Opens: Thursday 30 July, 10:00 BST (Glasgow only) Exclusive to the Glasgow date. You'll need a free Gigs in Scotland account to get in.
For every link and the latest timing updates, head to the individual event pages on Evnt Central. Following each event will also get you a free reminder before each sale opens.
Could More UK Dates Be Added?
Additional dates are a common feature of major world tours, and they often appear with very little notice. An extra Glasgow show, a second London date, or a brand-new UK city could all be announced at short notice once demand becomes clear.
The best way to stay ahead of that is to follow Tyla on Evnt Central. You'll get an instant notification the moment any new date is announced, before it spreads through social media. That head start can make a genuine difference when queue times are tight. Download the Evnt Central app at evntcentral.com/app for instant new-date alerts, presale guides, countdowns, and sale reminders.
How to Maximise Your Chances
-
Sign up to Tyla's mailing list now. The Artist Presale opens first on Wednesday morning. If you're not already subscribed, get that sorted well in advance.

Check your O2 or Virgin Media eligibility. The O2 Priority Presale runs at the same time as the Artist Presale, giving O2 and Virgin Media customers an extra shot at tickets on Wednesday.
-
Pre-order the album or complete the form. The Album Presale also opens on Wednesday at the same time. It's another concurrent window, so if you can qualify for multiple presales, you'll have more options.
-
Set a reminder for Thursday's presales. Live Nation, Metropolis, and Gigs in Scotland presales all open Thursday at 10:00 BST. Follow the relevant events on Evnt Central for free automatic reminders.

Be aware of ticket limits. The London show has a 4-ticket cap per person and household. Glasgow and Manchester both have a limit of 6. Tickets purchased in excess of these limits will be cancelled, so plan accordingly.
